He was 5'6 his HS senior year and played on the varsity basketball, baseball teams at his large HS. Athletic as hell. As a kid, I remember him walking around on his hands, up and down stairs, all the while the change in his pockets falling out and us kids screaming and yelling, "more, more." ....Excuse me a second, got a slight tear in my eye.

Not me though, no sir. I think I was able to swat the bottom of the net, like only once, as many times as I tried. Not much of a standing jump here. A couple of years later though, I discovered I could go fairly fast around a track on a motorcycle, but that comes to an end, too.

Well Professor, second time today I nudged a thread.
